What is the absolute smallest size of a “Hello World” app that can be published on the market?
It’s 3430 bytes, and the app is here for your enjoyment: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=h.w
| Size | Compressed | Name |
|---|---|---|
| 345 | 248 | META-INF/MANIFEST.MF |
| 466 | 314 | META-INF/A.SF |
| 446 | 363 | META-INF/A.RSA |
| 97 | 97 | res/drawable/a.png |
| 1300 | 489 | AndroidManifest.xml |
| 588 | 588 | resources.arsc |
| 820 | 463 | classes.dex |
| 4062 | 2562 | total 7 files, 0 folders |
PS: for an APK that can be installed through ADB but is not publishable on the market, the minimum I found is 2259 bytes — it doesn’t need to have an icon and other elements that are enforced by the market but not by the framework.
